Vérité at The Boot And Saddle on August 23, 2017

I bought tickets forever ago and the time finally came on Wednesday night! Vérité is a New York singer, songwriter who I became a fan of when I heard her cover of "Somebody Else."

It was instant love. Her album "Somewhere In Between" was only released this summer. I grew to like her music more and more. The venue in South Philly was so small, that I knew I had to buy tickets. Plus, smaller shows are my favorite.

TigerTown the upbeat, full enegery band opened for Vérité. They were a ton of fun and I suggest you look them up. I know I already started following them on Instagram. Question: how do people look cool? Like TigerTown just looks cool and I want to be their friends, but that is for another blog.

Vérité was everything and more. She started out with the biggest power song on the album, "Phase Me Out." I was hooked and sold into this show. I, of course, lost it and couldn't stop singing and dancing along. This lovely couple pushed me in front of them and said: "You are more excited to be here, go." I took it and stood by the stage while she performed. She crushed it. Her voice is original and honest. The lyrics are so truthful, and she knows how to perform. I wish the show went for like two more songs, but it was the first stop on her tour in a small venue in Philadelphia. I would say you need to buy tickets while you can. This small venue sold out and other shows will too. She is one of those artists that I am glad when she becomes crazy big, I can say "I saw her on her first stop with like 100 other people."

Can we talk about Kacy Hill?

This isn't a post about me or my photography. It is a post of how amazing Kacy Hill is and will continue to be. 

I first found her music video for Experience on Youtube. As soon as the video started I was in love. I couldn't get enough of her. I wanted four albums right away. I had to wait till she released an EP. Not only that an EP I have played too many times over and over and over and over again. Her voice is a cinematic masterpiece that makes the listener feel artistic, powerful, and beautiful. There is something special about this artist. I can't stop listening to her. Side note: also can't stop looking at her. I mean she is drop dead gorgeous.

Ok, now I am getting where I need to be. She recently released two new songs to bless my morning commute to work. I needed these trippy songs to complete my morning while I drink iced coffee (all year, including winters). 

Hard To Love was a banger. I was feeling this right away. It just spoke to me. It is what I have been missing. I want to run through the streets singing this song with a middle finger to anyone who has hurt me. Who hasn't felt like that? I know there is probably a different meaning, but I get that there is something that you can't let go. You can't let go of that love and you accept it. I could picture the video to be made for it. Right away. Epic. Beautiful. Sad.

I was wrong.

The other song Like A Woman (video embedded) was the one made into a video. And all I have to say is "HOLY GOSH! HOLY SHIT." I was wrong. This song is beautifully, romantically, honest. The video is simple, "feel sexy." Kacy Hill is softly singing to the viewer, while she gracefully slides her hand into her pants. This sense of amazing feeling is so beautiful. It just a simple NSFW gesture that makes the video. The message of touching yourself and feeling in touch with your sexually is powerful. The video does not disappoint. Yes, there are shirtless men surrounding her little body as it falls from the heavens, but it is all perspective.  Who's to say how one is supposed to feel when another makes them feel? She is seen being carried by men, falling, feeling tiny, and on red sheets in an outfit that does not leave a lot to the mind.

The stills in this video are works of art. The simple video can be screenshotted over and over again, and feel like a new work of art. I can't believe how people still do not know about this amazingly talented this woman. Please, look up her, watch the video, and become a fan. 

Geez, I just love Kacy Hill.
